Corrine Brown’s Attorney To Present Arguments Aug. 7

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Former U.S. Rep. Corrine Brown’s lawyer on Friday night filed two new motions in court after she was convicted in May on 18 of 22 federal charges, including fraud and tax evasion, for stealing from an unregistered charity.
Just before midnight, Brown’s attorney, James Smith, filed a defendant’s reply to the prosecution’s opposition to motion for new trial; and request for oral arguments.
In a motion filed last month, Smith argued that the dismissal of Juror 13 over comments about the “Holy Spirit” violated Brown’s Sixth Amendment right to a jury of her peers.
